Recipes!

So yesterday was a awesome day in the gym. I took a complete rest day on Saturday and an active rest day on Sunday (my accident) and i came back into the gym recharged! It was my leg day and i went up 15lbs on all my moves. I busted out my LivFit routine x2 and came back to the gym later to just do circuits and abs.
For dinner i made my family Tuna Cakes-which were bomb!

So on with today! Went to the gym this morning, did LivFit shoulder day x2 followed by HIIT sprints (quickly saw 2 miles in 16mins on treadmill) then TRIED some ab moves. Man it was almost my first time crying in the gym. My ribs are so soar from my accident; i cant exactly crunch so i had to plank it out. But came home to my stationary bike and rode while posting this!
I have been saving almonds from my Dads trial mix bag for a little while to make almond butter so today it was finally made:

So i wiped off most of the salt from the almonds and threw them into my Ninga. (Also you have to use a tall blender and not the short one because the short one's blade just pushes it all to the sides and will never come together). I scrapped the sides down every so often and eventually after about 6min it was creamy. 100% whole almonds and NO oil!

I of course had to try it out so i topped it on my egg white, ricotta cheese, chia seed, flax meal, coconut flake mixture:

Voila! I didnt exactly have an empty jar sittin around so i stored in tupperware. I guess i was on an Almond kick cause i soaked almonds last night to make almond milk today. Blended my 1 cup soaked almonds with 2 cups fresh water. Whirled it for about 3mins, strained in cheesecloth, wrung out the extra juice, and popped in fridge. I also used the almond meal left in the cheesecloth and baked it till toasted and crunchy (perfect for yogurt or smoothies or oatmeal).
